The silence in the boardroom did not break, instead, it tightened.

You could feel it in the air and in the way every single person sat just a little bit straighter and the way no one dared to even shuffle papers too loudly.

I leaned back slightly in my chair and rested my fingers tightly on the polished table as I scanned the documents that had been placed right in front of me.

The documents were filled with numbers, reports and recent contracts of the companies.

All things I had seen in some f

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   HER ESCAPE

    I blinked, the words that had just left his lips did not make sense in any way. That was not Sylas. A mafia boss was not the man who held my hand in the garden, it was not the man who watched me eat as though it was the most fascinating thing in the world.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “That’s not true. You are lying.”Cassian’s lips curved into something that felt dangerously close to a smile,“I’m not shocked that you don’t believe me,” he paused, and leaned towards me, “But I have a question for you. Why would I lie?” he asked softly.“I don’t believe you,” I shot back. I tried to keep my tone even, but my voice lacked the conviction I wanted it to have. “I know you’re lying. Why else would you kidnap me? All of this is just some ploy to mess with my head.”“Is it?” He tilted his head slightly, and began to study me like a puzzle he wanted to solve. “If this was all just a kidnapping. Why do you think I haven’t asked for a ransom for you? Why haven’t I used you against him ye

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   MAFIA BOSS

    Vera’s POV:Not for one second did I trust him, but I still decided to follow him anyway. The moment I stepped out of the white room, the air changed.The air was no longer as clean as it was inside the room, it now smelled like rust, oil and something else, something stale. That immediately told me we were probably in the industrial district of town.Cassian walked ahead of me with casual strides like he had all the time in the world. He was acting like I was not a hostage and like this was a tour between friends. Even though I had not taken his hand, I still stayed a couple of feet behind him while my eyes moved constantly and began to note the hallways, corners, or anything that could be a possible way out.We walked through a long corridor that was dimly lit. The flickering lights above were so dim that it cast everything in shadows that just felt wrong.“This place,” I finally spoke as I glanced around, “What is this?” The question I really wanted to ask was ‘where’, but I did no

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   SHOCKED

    Sylas’ POVThe meeting was dragging, not because it wasn’t important, it was, but it was dragging because my mind really wasn’t in it. Loud voices filled the boardroom and I occasionally glanced up when projections, numbers and strategies were brought up.But none of them mattered or were important enough to grab my attention. My mind was only focused on my wife, Vera.I could still recall the way she had smiled this morning when I had woken up by her side. I only snapped out of my thoughts when I noticed that all the directors were staring at me.“Chairman,” the speaker called out, “I asked what you thought about the new acquisition,”I nodded, “You all can proceed,”“Okay, good,” the speaker said as he turned around to face the boardroom and continued speaking, “-with the acquisition now approved, we can expect—”The door burst open and everyone turned to face the door. My assistant stood there with a face so pale, it immediately sent me on high alert. His eyes locked onto mine imme

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   I WANT HER

    Cassian’s POV:“And yes, I am your brother-in-law.”For a moment, nothing happened. Vera just stared at him with a blank, frozen gaze, like her mind was trying to process what she had just heard.Cassian watched it happen with a smirk. He watched as the denial first flickered past her expression before quickly turning into confusion, and then slowly, becoming realization.Her breathing changed and her eyes widened,“No…” she whispered, shaking her head in disbelief, “No, that’s not possible, he wouldn’t.”Cassian smiled, this was all it took, this was what he wanted.When she was finally done speaking, she looked up into his eyes and froze.Her lips parted, but no words came out, and then, finally, she took a deep breath and spoke up,“How?” she demanded. He was impressed with how sharp her voice was despite how nervous she was. “I didn’t even know Sylas had a brother.”Cassian’s smile didn’t falter, this was exactly what he wanted,“Of course you didn’t,” he replied smoothly. “He wou

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   BROTHER-IN-LAW

    The very first thing I felt when I woke up was pain, not confusion or even fear, just pain. The pain was so overwhelming that it felt like my entire body had been dragged through broken, jagged glass.A groan tore from my throat before I could stop it. I tried to open my eyes, but it hurt, even my head throbbed. My limbs were heavy, and my chest ached with every breath I took.I tried to move, and I felt something, probably a rib, crack. The rush of pain that followed caused my eyes to finally snap open. The first thing I saw was white. Everything was white.The walls, the ceiling and even the floor were all painted white. All I could do was stare blankly at the bizarre sight as my mind struggled to catch up.“What happened?” I gasped, muttering under my breath, “Where am I, where…?"Then, all my memory came crashing back. From the car to the gunshots and even the crash. My breath hitched in shock as I tried once again to sit up, but I couldn’t.It was only then that I noticed that my

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Bride   GETTING KIDNAPPED

    The moment I realized that we were being shot at, the world shattered,“Hold on,” Joe screamed, his voice cut through my thoughts as he jerked the car towards the left.Another gunshot rang through the air. This time, it was louder and far closer. I even felt the car shoulder the moment the bullet hit the reinforced bulletproof glass.My heart kept on pounding as I stayed low and kept my hands on the leather seat in front of me. I was holding on so tightly that my fingers began to hurt.The windows were spider-webbed with cracks, and even though I wasn’t an expert on bulletproofing, I could tell that we were only a couple more gun shots away before all the car windows were busted.Another shot rang through the air, then another. My body jerked involuntarily whenever I heard the tell-tale crack of a gun being shot, and I kept on jerking.Joe took a sharp turn into another seat, and for the next few seconds, there were no gunshots. Just as I thought we were free, a loud explosive pop fi
